Limit: 29 mm (1.1417 in)
065RS014
Check for continuity between segment and segment on
the commutator. Replace commutator if there is no

065RS015
Check for continuity between commutator and shaft.
Also, check for continuity between commutator and
armature core, armature core and shaft. Replace
commutator if there is continuity (i.e., internally
